I am also trying to find the answer to this question. I did a web search and one respondant said you need a 3rd party app to browse the contents of you iPad (or iPod in my case). I download a large monthly periodical and my device will fill up very quickly unless I can delete previous pdf's. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good 3rd party file browser and where to find previously read pdf's on an iPod/iPad/iPhone.

Hi, deleting files. On the reader Home screen there is in the top left an icon labeled Documents. Touch this and you will get a list of your files. Swipe the file you want to delete, right to left. You will get at Delete button to the right of your file. Touch this button and your file is gone. The list of files below the document icon are a recently read list and you can't delete files from there.

If you just "Cleared" your recently viewed list, the documents aren't gone. They can still be found in your "Documents" list. The recently viewed list just lists the most recent documents, and allows you to clear it out if it's showing you old files you don't consider recent any longer.

I've considered removing the "clear" option there because of this confusion.

It simply doesn't do this. I have two documents that have a tick on the left side - there's nothing on the right of the file. Normally, you'd expect a delete option to appear but it doesn't and so they remain ticked - but there. Help!

In Adobe Reader, you can delete files by going to documents then swipe from right to left on the document you want to delete – the delete button should then come up and you can press it and it will forever delete the file. It works.

Hey scoobing! Let me ask you: Accidentally, I sent a file with other extension to the Adobe Reader via iTunes, so I opened my application on my iPad to delete the file itself by using your advice, its tourned out that Adobe Reader didn't show me this file, so my question: How Can I delete that file via my iTunes? Because I've tried it, but there's any option to do that. Any smart ideas?
